Answer:
x=8
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
5x + -8 = 32
Reorder the terms:
-8 + 5x = 32
Solving
-8 + 5x = 32
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '8' to each side of the equation.
-8 + 8 + 5x = 32 + 8
Combine like terms: -8 + 8 = 0
0 + 5x = 32 + 8
5x = 32 + 8
Combine like terms: 32 + 8 = 40
5x = 40
Divide each side by '5'.
x = 8
Simplifying
x = 8
